What we collect in Harefield
Harefield is unlike anywhere else in the borough: a semi-rural village on a hill, with green-belt fields on three sides, a village green, and country lanes where the rest of Hillingdon has suburban streets. The housing runs from cottages around the green and the High Street, and the terraces near Harefield Hospital, to large detached homes on generous plots along Rickmansworth Road and towards Mount Pleasant.
Bigger plots mean longer carries — gravel drives, side gates, garden outbuildings — and lanes like Hill End Road and the roads down towards the Grand Union Canal at Coppermill Lock are narrow, with tight bends and passing places. We plan the approach before we arrive, so the van is not reversing back up a lane. A lot of Harefield homes are long-tenured, which is why the job here is more often a whole outbuilding or house than a single item.
The tip is in Harefield itself, on New Years Green Lane, and for a car-load with a HillingdonFirst card it is the cheapest option — we will say so. We come in when the load will not fit in a car, when it has to come out of a house or an outbuilding, or when the van cap and ID rules get in the way. Loads are priced by the space they fill, from £95 for a minimum load to £495 for a full Luton, and we work 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays.
Hillingdon’s bulky waste collection covers UB9 too: £53 a slot, £39 if you are over 65 and £94 for landlords, and each slot covers up to six items. It collects from the boundary only — out at ground level by 6am, with nothing fetched from a house or an outbuilding — and it refuses garden waste, rubble, building and DIY waste, tyres and hazardous items, which rules out much of what a big Harefield plot produces. Booking is Monday to Friday, on the next free date. For a few ordinary pieces you can get out to the front yourself, it is cheaper than us; our bulky waste guide lists what it takes.
Harefield has the borough’s tip on its doorstep: the Harefield Civic Amenity Site on New Years Green Lane (UB9 6LX), open seven days from 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm, and closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. It is free with a HillingdonFirst card, but there is no pedestrian access, a van needs two forms of ID and is limited to 12 visits a year, it takes household waste only, and it will not take a tree trunk or a branch thicker than 20cm. If the load fits in your car and you have the card, it is the cheapest answer going. Our Harefield tip guide has the details.

WhatsApp or email a picture of the rubbish, or just describe it over the phone.
Get a fixed price
We reply with a firm, all-in quote by volume — labour and disposal included.

Cleared & recycled
We sweep up, take it away, and recycle whatever we can at licensed sites.
Commercial, office and trade waste removal in Harefield
We clear trade waste around Harefield too — landlords and agents emptying a let between tenancies, and builders and fitters with end-of-job waste. The tip at New Years Green Lane takes household waste only; ours is priced by volume, with a waste transfer note on request.
What we collect covers most non-hazardous streams: general and mixed waste, office and commercial furniture, retail fixtures and fittings, timber and pallets, cardboard and packaging, flooring and carpet, plasterboard and light rubble, and end-of-life household items. There are a few things a man and van cannot legally carry loose — hazardous waste such as asbestos, chemicals, clinical waste, gas bottles and tyres — but tell us what you have and we will either handle it correctly or point you to the right specialist. Fridges, freezers and larger appliances are fine with a little notice so we dispose of them the proper way.
Rubbish removal in Harefield — your questions answered
Can your van get down Harefield’s narrow lanes?
Yes. The lanes around Hill End and Coppermill Lock are narrow, with tight bends, which is exactly where a Luton does better than a big lorry. If access is restricted, tell us when you book and we will plan the route and where to stop.
The tip is in Harefield — why pay for a collection?
Often you should not, and we would rather tell you. If it fits in a car and you hold a HillingdonFirst card, New Years Green Lane is free and close by. Call us when it will not fit in a car, when the van cap or the ID rules get in the way, when it has to come out of the house or an outbuilding, or when the site will not take it.
Do you clear outbuildings?
Yes. Sheds, garages, workshops and other garden outbuildings are common on the bigger Harefield plots, and they are usually where the volume is. The council will not collect from them at all; we carry everything out, however far it is to the van.
Is the council collection cheaper for a few items?
If you can get them out to your boundary by 6am, yes: £53 a slot, £39 if you are over 65, for up to six items. It will not take garden waste, rubble or DIY waste, and it will not come inside.
How quickly can you get to UB9?
Usually the same day. Harefield is a short run up from our Uxbridge base, and we work 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays.
Where we collect rubbish near Harefield
We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Harefield seven days a week. As well as UB9 we work across Denham, Ickenham, Northwood, Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, and the lanes in between.
What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
